Insurance & Rates

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not bill insurance directly. However, many insurance plans offer reimbursement for out-of-network services or permit the use of HSA/FSA funds. I’m happy to assist you in understanding how to verify these benefits with your insurance provider and can supply the necessary documentation for reimbursement, if applicable. Working with an out-of-network provider offers greater flexibility and a more personalized therapy experience.

Good Faith Estimate (GFE)

You will receive a GFE outlining the expected cost of services. This estimate is based on your treatment plan and may be subject to change if circumstances evolve. If billed more than $400 over the GFE, you have the right to dispute the charge through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
